And he's taking the criticism from Trump anyway.

Britain not ruling out future strikes on Iran missile sites, officials indicate β€˜We just don’t know what will happen,’ western officials say, as UK bases prepare for arrival of US heavy bombers

Love this fantasy centrists are contructing in which Starmer is playing a blinder by not getting involved in the attacks on Iran and taking criticism from Trump, which will boost his popularity. But we are involved

Inconsistent anti-imperialists (the enemy of their enemy - the US - is their friend) can be v annoying. I have a cousin like that, we agree on e.g. Israel but he's basically ended up being pro-Putin. But the fact is they have virtually zero influence on anything. Anti-anti-imperialists OTOH...

I was on BBC last night, following a clip with voices from Iran. All the selected voices welcomed war, saying they cheered every time they heard an explosion.

Those views exist. But when you ONLY air those voices, you are doing war propaganda.

And I told BBC that live on air.

I hope people are wiser to this stuff now. It's vile and it only makes it harder to counter antisemitism

For Labour, "taking on" Reform means copying their rhetoric and implementing their policies.

But when Labour wants to "take on" the Greens, they reach straight for smears and lies. Why isn't the "steal their policies and rhetoric" approach an option for them in this case? (I know why and so do you)

No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military
Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of
foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a
force for international peace and justice.

Remember when Sir Keir Starmer said this to get elected?

He doesn't.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as β€œpreventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

Post from Salma Yaqoob: "Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamic sectarianism. In fact it's evidence of genuince tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of costs of living, protecting public services and rejecting warmongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites."

You know what's GREAT about their worst nightmare?

Unlike 2017 & 2019, there isn't an internal party faction desperately trying to make Labour lose, lying to a compliant media, diverting funds and wrecking.

Their worst nightmare is actually having total control of the party and doing THIS with it.
